A.3. Kubernetes Cluster Startup Options

The following properties affect the size and structure of the Kubernetes cluster that gets started, as well as the startup attributes of the VoltDB cluster running on those pods.

Table A.2. Options Starting with cluster.clusterSpec...

ParameterDescriptionDefault
.replicasPod (VoltDB Node) replica count, scaling to 0 will shutdown the cluster gracefully3
.maxPodUnavailableMaximum pods unavailable in Pod Disruption Budgetkfactor
.maintenanceModeVoltDB Cluster maintenance mode (pause all nodes)false
.takeSnapshotOnShutdownTakes a snapshot when cluster is shut down by scaling to 0. One of: NoCommandLogging (default), Always, Never. NoCommandLogging means 'snapshot only if command logging is disabled'.""
.initForceAlways init --force on VoltDB node start/restart. WARNING: This will destroy VoltDB data on PVCs except snapshots.false
.deletePVCDelete and cleanup generated PVCs when VoltDBCluster is deleted, requires finalizers to be enabled (on by default)false
